Licence to kill

Lorenz

I don't have a name to give you

and I will never know yours .

I am the eye that draws the shade

of the afterlife .

The cross that appears on a forehead 

bears the sign of the redeemer.

When I enter a house ,

I don't see any pictures 

on the bare wall ,

just angles and dark corners,

a cold teddy on the bed 

hides a danger ...

I don't know what pleasure is .

Everything mathematics .

  A child ?

Silhouette gloved in a hand grenade .

A woman ?

An alarm goes off in my head .

  An old man ?

Definitely a disguise .

I'm not here to judge ,

but to follow the procedure.

Neither hate nor love .

I do what I was taught to do .

No one disturbs my night 

and my sleep is dreamless .

Those who dream die faster .

Don't think I'm afraid .

Fear is for those who doubt .

I clean the chessboard 

of its fools and horsemen .

But I don't play .

 I am just a function 

that does not ask question 

that have no answer 

and  do the job properly... 

 Don't think I'm ignorant !

I'm familiar with the works 

of the great philosophers : 

Jesus Christ ,Adolf Hitler 

and Mike tyson ! 

I like  sunsets 

when death awakens 

and the bright dawns 

where life falls asleep .

Through my aimer 

I watch the poet pass by 

perched on a pink cloud .

 You're only a ink maker ,

And I don't like amateur killer...

    The poem has haunting tone that explores death, worrier , war and loss of innocence.
    Cold teddy.. nice imagery

    • Lorenz

      I am a serial killer that collects abandoned teddy bears !

    • Ellen Marsell

      This is poetry of alienation, written by a sniper at the dusk of modernity.
      No love, no hatred — only an algorithm.

      • Lorenz

        Is god an algorithm with an infinite or non -finite form ?

      • sorenbarrett

        Those who dream die faster .
        Don't think I'm afraid .
        Fear is for those who doubt .

        Great lines that sink deep into the mind. This poem is full of them and the last line

        You're only a ink maker ,
        And I don't like amateur killer...

        is most powerful. A fave
